    Patgas,
    Awesome build I'm in awe of your accomplishment. Love the black wheel sets, bare/natural head, pipe and black chain guide. Very nicely done!!!

    My hats off to you on your bike/build. What an awesome bike! I miss my 80 OR390 even worse now!! I sold it when I was 17 to buy a new CR480 Honda, blew transmission in my truck and there went my new bike money, dang it!!! I've tried to track it down with no luck for years. Hope you get the carb sorted out, I still remember that 390 power, linear!

    My experience is 3rd gear on the main shaft seems to get a lot of wear. I thought I could use a Dremel to square up the dogs but it didn't work and had to replace it. I have purchase several transmissions on ebay very cheap (less than $50USD) that had the gears I needed. Let me know if you need gears. I have several that are in good condition and new gears are hard to find.

    I noticed the stainless steel cap head fastners. Did you cut them to length yourself ? What technique did you use ? Looks great. Thanks for posting.
